I joined a VISTA Business edition to my domain and it applied all GPO's correctly, making DOMAIN USERS part of the LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS group. I log on as a Doamin Member but when trying to access certain directories, or install application I am either denied access or prompted to ALLOW action, etc... How can I control this behavior? Sean

Okay I found out how to get the ctrl-alt-del for the logon, but with xp/2000 you would then be prompted to enter your user ID and password. with vista you get to choose from a list of users. I don't want a list of users shown. I want users to have to enter a user ID and pw. how can I set vista to do that? You did not mention which edition you have so the easiest method is to...

Okay... so i'm running with UAC enabled now (actually always was, just changed from no-prompt to prompt)...

I have just brought an Acer Laptop with Visa Basic installed. It came with a program called Data Execution Prevention installed. It's preventing me from running programs I had no trouble with on xp. I want to know if this is a windows program or one that Acer has installed. It basically acts like Zone Alarm except it doesn't ask if it can run the program or not. I can't even run Live...

Our application installs a .NET 1.1 EXE created with VB.NET into the startup folder on the PC. This works perfectly on Win98SE and XP. If the User Access Control is OFF on Vista, it also works perfectly there. However, if the UAC is on, the program is BLOCKED. I tried to build a manifest file.... assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" asmv3:trustInfo...

Hi, I am trying to store the certificates for NTFS Encryption on the smartcards of my user. It took me quite long to find a CSP which is capable of doing so. So far it is working now but now I have some questions regarding NTFS encryption. Im am still experimenting around. First I create an encrypted folder, then I export the encryption certificate and import it into the smartcard and delete...

Greetings, This is more of a programming question, and doesn't appear to quite fit into this newsgroup. Please feel free to direct me to a more appropriate forum (if one exists). I have an application (compiler) which dumps its whole parse tree into a file, and then re-loads it later (for precompiled header processing), via MapViewOfFileEx().

Hi! Tell me if I got this right! If an application has an application manifest for Vista then folder and registry vistualization is automatically turned off, and the application will fail silently if elevation isn't requested in that manifest. If an application doesn't have a manifest, virtualization features are activated and the application will succeed regardless of elevation or no

Intel DQ965GF Latest BIOS 5882 OS: Vista X64 Ultimate TPM: ST Microelectronics 1.2 When I disable Bitlocker and want to reactive it I get an error. All I can is to decrypt and recrypt the disk which is very time consuming. Updating to latest BIOS Version didn't help. Is this a known bug?

Hello everyone, my first post on this board. I have just installed Vista x64, but can`t find a porper firewall software that has the same functionality as ZoneAlarm. What I am basicly looking for is a software that can block internet access to programs, like prompt me first if I allow it to access the net. ZA has a beta for x86 vista, is there anything out ther for Vista x64?

When I start my computer I get the following message - "Application failed to initialize: 0x80010665" Neither the firewall nor defender applications are turned on. I can turn on the firewall, but the defender application will not turn on. It simply looks for an update and then fails to activate. Suggestions please.

I have tried AVG, Avast and Kaspersky and none of these are recognised in the Security Center in Vista Home Prremium. Could anyone advise me of the antivirus software it does detect or if this could be a problem with my vista upgrade which was from XP.

I'm trying to disable the 'click your username' aspect of the Welcome screen. I want there to be a Username and Password box, instead of having a selection of users. I've had it like this with a Domain set-up in Vista, but I'm not on a domain with this PC. I've looked in Help and found that 'the welcome screen cannot be disabled,' however, I think I should be able to do this with it still...
